My dog will eat horse poop and I've had to stop him from sampling bear crap.
Dogs will also eat cat stool, rich in protein apparently.
I'm wondering if baby poop is likewise attractive to dogs.
They may have wanted, like any dog, to get to the hidden 'treat'.
In consuming it, the child's very small scrotum could easily been mistaken as part of the 'treat'.
In this case what happened could hardly be called an attack.
There was no intention on the dogs part to injury the baby.
It does give another reinforcement to what we all should know anyway...
Do not leave an infant unattended with any dog.
Oh, this is *such* a gross twist but yes, dogs are attracted to baby poo.
When my sister was born, my childhood poodle would arrive at the changing table like a ranch hand to the chuck wagon.
Mom had to keep the diaper pail outside on the porch because of that.
[this was back in the pre-Huggies days]
Apparently not only dogs find the barely-digested “food” attractive.
Ignorant slobs routinely toss used disposables out their car windows on the isolated stretches of I-70 and it’s common to see dead possums, coons, foxes and skunks nearby.
[out of all the “last suppers” they could’ve picked....yuck]
I’ve had dogs and horses my whole life and the cow pasture was but a mere slither-under-the-fence away.
[feel free to let your imagination run wild with *that* scenario]....:-P
My Ibizans prefer bunny droppings.
I could just gag.
